Encoders: Device Configuration

The following guides you through some of the programming steps for incremental and absolute encoders. Parameters vary by part number, so please refer to the Operating Manual on the datasheet page for the specific product for details. Generally, parameters such as resolution per revolution, output, and rotational direction are available for programming.

Some encoders have a display with pushbuttons which can be used for programming. All configurable encoders can also be programmed using moneo | configure and moneo | blue.

moneo | configure is a user-friendly software package that enables easy programming and visualization of all ifm IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.0 and V1.1) as well as other manufacturers' IO-Link enabled sensors (V1.1).  The software can be downloaded here: moneo | configure.

moneo | blue is an app that runs on your Apple or Android smart phones and provides access to all parameters, process values and diagnostics from all sensors connected to an IO-Link master. The Bluetooth™ adapter, EIO330, connects to one port of the IO-Link master and the app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store or from Google play.
